Official: Chelsea Appoint Maurizio Sarri as Head Coach

[McCreadie]

I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt after Bournemouth, but 0-10 in our last 2 away games is not just unacceptable, it’s laughable. He must be on very thin ice now. There is no sign of improvement or motivation of the players and that was the bare minimum that was required. Lots on here were prepared and would have been accepting of a narrow spirited defeat today, but not a spineless, clueless capitulation like this. Not sure where we go from here - beginnning to  wonder if a clean sweep of ownership and board is going to be needed before the situation can improve.

This is probably reactionary on my part but Mourinho and Terry in please.

There's a sense of inevitability in the air now.

You will likely get some stick for the JM suggestion, but it's not as mad a suggestion as some would have you believe.

At Chelsea there is always a sense of inevitability in the air;)

Well if we do sack Sarri JM is quite clearly, no hands down, the best option available. 

I'd love that to happen only to see Blue Rod go mental. Would provide me with entertainment for the next few months at least.

Sadly, there is. And Sarri’s comments post match to Sky Italia obviously looks like a guy who is at the end of his rope. 

Oh well. So be it.

Its just not feasible for us to change the core group. I mean, a defender, 2 full backs, a midfielder and 2 attackers could cost the club almost a half a billion pounds in today’s market.

I do feel that the change has to be made to the players this time though. Something just doesnt sit right that they continuosly escape all blame the minute something bad happens.

The only big name managers available seem to be recently ex-Chelsea ones.

The last few months have been fun enough.

I think Mourinhos stock is lower than an oxo cube in a mine shaft at the minute .

I'm struggling to think of a replacement in all honesty.
